Here are some low-class names at Cedar Point:

 

Mantis,(boring) Top Thrill Dragster, (blah) Witches Wheel, (Dumb) Dragster H2O, (stupid, never let random people name rides) Loli Swing, (Located in Camp Snoopy, unsuitable theme) Jr. Gemini, it doesn't duel and it is nothing like Sr. Gemini)

[TunaSled]

Mantis is a great coaster name. If only it was used on a different ride.

 

Pepsi Max Big One is awful.

[TheMaxster]

I'm never going to speak the term YOLO again after Full Throttle.

[DarienLaker]

[Ape]

I really dislike all of the renames kings island did after cedar fair bought them

[Coastergenius250]

Go Bannanas is a weird name, and Cedar Fair should rename Drop Tower to..........

 

STRATOSFEAR!!!!!!!!

Pepsi Orange Streak may not be the worst ride name ever but it certainly doesn't make any sense. Pepsi isn't an orange drink and there isn't any orange coloring on the can.

Pepsi just sponsors the ride, it's called Orange Streak because the trains are orange.

 

 

I think naming a Batman clone "Goliath" was pretty dumb.

[TheMaxster]

Wolverine Wildcat at Michigan's Adventure is a bad name because it just seems like they couldn't decide on one name so they put both possible names together.

[Jpizzle]

How about The Smiler. . . I still have no idea wtf is going on with the theme. It looks like a car wash fused with a mall photobooth.

[cmullin]

Flight Deck and Boomerang. Overused and BORING.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Now, Six Flags Mexico's new RMC would probably be called Green Lantern I think Iron Medusa is already silly but this one made me beg for Iron Medusa…

[DarienLaker]

.Boss

.Shockwave (overused)

.Big /Little Dipper (overused)

.Rollo Coaster

.Fly

.Roller Soaker ( )

.Pandemonium (why can't Six Flags come up with a better name to rename the former Tony Hawk's Big Spin coasters?)

.Crazy/Wild (inert some animal here)

.Twister (overused)

.Hollywood Dream ( )

.Nightmare at Phatom Cave/Crackle Axe Canyon

.Tiki Twirl (I think this name might be on the gray side)

.Heave Ho!

100% the answer has to be Flight Deck. I have NO idea how anybody at CF corporate could have approved this. There is nothing memorable, classic, or even appealing about a ride called Flight Deck. It's completely unimaginative and terrible.

 

I also really dislike the name Cheetah Hunt. It bugs me that it doesn't match the tribal-sounding names of all the other major coasters at Busch. Montu, Kumba, SkeiKra, Gwazi, and Cheetah Hunt.... Cheetaka would have been WAY better!!

Wolverine Wildcat at Michigan's Adventure is a bad name because it just seems like they couldn't decide on one name so they put both possible names together.

 

I think they did that because of the Michigan Wolverines football team and the Michigan Wildcats baseball team but I wish it was just called "Wolverine" or something.

 

Flight Deck is a really dumb name.

^^ Some of those names are good, why bad mouth them?

ok you know what that was a really long list!

ok here's a new not long list:

•Roller Coaster because it"s too generic

•Big Loop because the loops aren't really that big

•Wild Mouse because, again, too generic

•Intimidator 305 because it's themed as a NASCAR driver and NASCAR racing does nothing but pollute the environment

•Super Speed Cool Cool Bear because it's just long

•Fahrenheit actually it's a really awesome and fitting name, but it doesn't go with the theme of that section of the park, same with stormrunner and the great bear

also for anyone who said Rita was a bad name, you may not know this but it's the abbreviation of "Alton Towers Intamin Rocket (or Rollercoaster)" spelled backwards

[Pyrozooka0]

Flight Deck. why didn't any of the other parks go with Afterburn?

SooperDooperLooper is retarded.

I don't mind reused names, but the fact that a Batman clone and a GIB use the name Goliath, which should be reserved for big coasters, makes me facepalm

[Subject_12]

I like Flight Deck.

[cfc]

also for anyone who said Rita was a bad name, you may not know this but it's the abbreviation of "Alton Towers Intamin Rocket (or Rollercoaster)" spelled backwards

 

It's also the name of a meter maid in a song by the Beatles.

*facepalm* Seriously, you like the name "Flight Deck", well I think that name is just plan dumb. Why can't Cedar Fair rename all the former Top Gun coasters "Afterburn"?
